## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## European Watch Co Pre-Owned Luxury Watch Scraper

Scrape pre-owned, vintage and modern luxury watches from **European Watch Co**
([europeanwatch.com](https://www.europeanwatch.com)) — a Boston-based dealer of
high-end timepieces from Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, A. Lange &
Söhne, Jaeger-LeCoultre, H. Moser & Cie and many more.

For every watch you get a clean, structured record: **brand, model, reference
number, year, price, condition, box & papers, movement, case material, dial
color, complications, images and the product URL** — ideal for price
benchmarking, resale arbitrage, market research and collection tracking.

### What you get (per watch)

| Field | Example |
|-------|---------|
| `title` | `Rolex 228239 Day-Date 40MM 18K White Gold Gray Dial` |
| `brand` | `Rolex` |
| `model` | `228239 Day-Date 40MM 18K White Gold Gray Dial` |
| `referenceNumber` | `228239` |
| `year` | `2023` |
| `price` | `46500` |
| `currency` | `USD` |
| `condition` | `Used` |
| `box` | `true` |
| `papers` | `true` |
| `boxPapers` | `Box & Papers` |
| `warranty` | `Included` |
| `movement` | `Automatic` |
| `caseMaterial` | `White Gold` |
| `caseSize` | `40mm` |
| `dialColor` | `gray` |
| `complications` | `Calendar` |
| `availability` | `In Stock` |
| `sku` | `70601` |
| `description` | full editorial description |
| `image` / `images` | primary image + full gallery |
| `url` | product page URL |
| `source`, `scrapedAt` | provenance |

### Input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["rolex", "patek philippe"],
  "maxItems": 40
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | string\[] | `["rolex"]` | Keywords matched against each watch's product-URL slug (brand + reference + model). **All** words in a query must appear. Examples: `daytona`, `audemars piguet royal oak`. Leave empty to pull the newest listings across every brand. |
| `startUrls` | array | `[]` | Optional specific `/watch/...` product URLs to scrape directly. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `40` | Max watches returned across all queries/URLs combined. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | none | Optional proxy. The site serves plain SSR HTML, so **direct access (no proxy) is the default** and works best. |

### How it works

The actor reads European Watch Co's `sitemap-products.xml` to discover live
watch URLs, filters them by your keywords, then fetches each product page and
extracts the embedded **schema.org Product JSON-LD** plus the on-page
specification list. No headless browser, no proxy required — fast and cheap.

### Pricing

This actor uses **pay-per-result** pricing. You are billed per watch record
returned to the dataset (plus a tiny per-run start fee). Failed or empty runs
write a diagnostic to the key-value store and are **not** billed as results.

### Notes & tips

- Keyword filtering is slug-based, so use brand/model words that appear in the
  URL (e.g. `patek philippe`, `daytona`, `nautilus`, `royal oak`).
- Increase `maxItems` for larger pulls; the actor paginates the whole catalog.
- Prices and inventory reflect the moment of scraping.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Keywords matched against each watch's product URL slug (brand + reference + model). Examples: 'rolex', 'patek philippe', 'daytona', 'audemars piguet royal oak'. All words in a query must appear in the slug. Leave empty (with maxItems) to scrape the newest listings across all brands.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional specific European Watch product page URLs to scrape directly, e.g. https://www.europeanwatch.com/watch/rolex-228239-228239-day-date-40mm-18k-white-gold-gray-dial-70601 . Used in addition to keyword search.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of watches to return across all queries and start URLs combined. Default 40.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. European Watch Co serves plain server-rendered HTML and works best with direct access; a proxy is only recommended for very large runs.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "rolex"
  ],
  "startUrls": [],
  "maxItems": 40,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
